Xfinity Gives You the Best View of the 2012 London Olympics

There’s just something about the Olympics. The intensity. The medals. The anthems. The heart-stopping and heartbreaking moments that live for generations. The world comes together to play – and to watch.

For the 2012 Summer Games in London, you can watch the Olympics like never before. That sounds like a cliché, we know. But, it’s true. Imagine:

Every sport, every event is available to watch live online and on mobile devices;

It’s all included in your Xfinity cable subscription; and

We’ve made it super easy for you to watch.

Remember when Michael Phelps and Team USA won the 4x100M relay in Beijing? Remember the goose bumps on your arms? Remember balancing yourself on the edge of your seat when they entered the final turn? Remember springing up in excitement when Jason Lezak touched the wall first? Those are the moments you remember for a lifetime. We don’t want you to miss any of them – and now, you don’t have to.

Every sport, every event is available to watch live online and on mobile devices

“Every Minute. Every Medal. Every Screen.”

For the first time in history, every single minute of every single event will be streamed live. We don’t mean almost everything. We mean everything.

Through NBCOlympics.com and the NBC Olympics Live Extra app, you can watch more than 3,500 hours of live streaming from London on your computer, tablet and smartphone. And yes, this includes the big sports like swimming, gymnastics and track & field.

At the same time, NBCU is broadcasting more than 2,000 hours across nine NBU networks (including Olympics soccer, basketball and 3D channels), so you are covered if you want to watch on your TV. Plus, you can catch up on what you missed and watch every medal event On Demand. Simply go to the Xfinity On Demand menu with your remote control and select “2012 London Olympics” from the main menu.

We know it’s a lot to keep track of. So we created the Ultimate Olympics Viewers’ Guide at Xfinity.com/NBCOlympics. This way, you’ll always know what’s available and when and where to watch it.

It’s all included in your Xfinity cable subscription
